Today's dental practice standards are set by the individual dentist. Quality is assured, in large part, by the accuracy of self‐evaluations by dental practitioners. As a result, dental educators have attempted to improve the accuracy of self‐reported evaluations by dental students by teaching such skills in the laboratory and clinic. This investigation examines multiple self‐evaluations of the quality of restorative practice of 1,196 general practitioners, and investigates the relationship between these ratings and actual quality of treatment by 102 dentists for 2,753 patients.
